Twee voorstellingen van gewaande toverij bij een vrouw genaamd Dirkje Gerrits te Haarlem, 1617 1650 - 1699

This anonymous engraving from the 17th century depicts two scenes of alleged witchcraft involving a woman named Dirkje Gerrits in Haarlem. The first scene shows Dirkje being forcibly removed from a window by several individuals. The second scene depicts Dirkje being restrained on the floor while others appear to be observing her. This work, which was likely created as a broadside or pamphlet, serves as a testament to the widespread fear of witchcraft in 17th-century Europe. The print's graphic imagery, including the detailed depiction of the figures and the cramped indoor setting, underscores the intensity of the events and their impact on the community.
